Ushering In J. Crew Season

When Jessica from The Love List broke the news that the highly coveted Sequin Harem pants Jenna Lyons debuted on Oprah were now available at J. Crew she knew exactly where to start disseminating her scoop...

At $650 the problem isn't sticker shock Jess, but more the fact that those babies will become theee most expensive sweat pants in history, likely to be paired with Ugg slippers and my Nana's mink. Can you say Little Eddie Beale?

Ohhh how I love a buffalo check. And, I know just the Keishe pearl necklace for pairing with this black boy shirt...

Ahhh, yes...the requisite black riding pant of the season...along with my new picnic table button down and million dollar sweats, my uniform should be set for the upcomingmonths. Babe would like that last statement in writing please...

Also, in the fall Crew catalogue is a bit of modeling by the cast of The Romantics which debuts next month. Perfectly timed for that anti-climatic, mildly depressing weekend after summer ends...

Kindness of Jessica from The Love List for the heads up on the Sequined Harem pants and The Romantics trailer. I have BIIIG plans to be at the Sun and Surf theater on September 10th seated front and center. I'll be the girl in the pricey sweats covered in buttered popcorn with a smuggled in half gallon of Diet Coke concealed in a pink and green monogrammed Igloo cooler...XXOO

harem pants? those should be left in the 90s with MC Hammer. i like the checked shirt and riding pants. i cannot wait for the Romantics. i love Katie Holmes. have you seen shots of her as Jackie O for the new mini-series? she looks fantastic. take care.

Just got my preppy decal in the mail. Now to find the Dick's. :)You do have to love the hot days and cool nights thought, right? I hate to tell you how happy I am for fall. I will send you a virtual bouquet of freshly sharpened number twos (ala You've Got Mail) to get you through. Does Hermes make pencils?

Love the black riding pants! I tried them on and they fit a little weird, the black with the zippers was borderline scene/emo so I decided to think it over. Website says they come in dark green which might be nice! Good luck with the sequin pants...thoes are quite a statement- not something this wall flower can pull off!

Sorry about that LBT. In a nutshell, Jenna Lyons, the CEO of J. Crew, wore these sparkly harem pants this past spring on Oprah which left all us gals drooling. They have now debuted in the Crew catalogue for a mere $650 and immediately sold out. Little Edie Beale is the très eccentric cousin of Jacqueline Bouvier from Grey Gardens who dressed like a bag lady. You know, kinda like MaryKateandAshleyOlsen. Comprende??? XXOO

Moi

I am a tongue-in-cheek bon vivant living in Greenwich, CT with my globe trotting husband Babe and our nutty Himalayans, George and Lolly Rockefeller.
Rendezvous with me, an old school prep, as I juggle aspirations of being on the "Best Dressed Parisienne Gypset List", endless summering, Hermès wish lists, Diet Coke and pretzel lunches, white bikinis, PTH's, sisters, nieces, bff's, all things Lilly, Mrs. Roper and the resurrection of the Jacques Cohen espadrille.
